As if the puppet's opinon matters
When it comes to unprincipledness, the Obama administration rivals the administration of Clinton. Look at this silly propaganda claim: "President Barack Obama reversed his decision to release detainee abuse photos from Iraq and Afghanistan after Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki warned that Iraq would erupt into violence and that Iraqis would demand that U.S. troops withdraw from Iraq a year earlier than planned, two U.S. military officers, a senior defense official and a State Department official have told McClatchy." First, as if the opinion of the pupet, Maliki really matters. Secondly, this is intended to appease critics and to cover the behind of a cowardly administration.
